ONE “WORD”: ARGH!

Nerve-racking. My first few days in Exeter University literally couldn’t have gone worst.

If you read my previous blog posts, you know how much I desired a good University experience: after living my whole teenage years as an outcast in my high school, I knew I deserved a better treatment and a chance to prove myself. I always know that I was a fun and querky girl.

Too bad that, as soon as I arrived, I realised that I was put in the most unsociable accommodation block ever. I was surrounded by a bunch of people who didn’t like to socialise and who were way too focused on studying during their first year at uni (which didn’t count towards their degree by the way). Moreover, I also had absolutely no one in my corridor! That’s right: while everyone had flatmates and cooked together, I had my own kitchen, bathroom and didn’t even have corridor mates. This was an epic fail start.

Just so you know: I was randomly put in that accommodation because Exeter was not first choice.

I explain below how I dealt with the situation and how I went from someone with zero connections to a happy & fully integrated student.

I hope this video helps you understand the importance of mindset and perseverance. At the end of the day, it is the one who fights for what he/she wants who’s most likely to get the outcome desired.
